CGiii Comment

Another turkey from Simon Chung...albeit the best looking turkey that he has produced.

Unfortunately, the HD camera cannot disguise the fact that Chung is a distinctly dreary auteur.

The lead character doesn't say much - which is a blessing - his acting ability is mournful. The rest of the cast do no better with a script that a depressed 12 year old could write.

Chung keeps on producing and, contrary to popular belief, he proves, emphatically, that practice does not necessarily lead to perfection.

The(ir) Blurb...

A guy is found by the police swimming naked. He can't, or refuses to, speak and is sent to a hospital. Since no diagnosis can be made, he will be transferred to a mental hospital, when his male nurse decides to take another route. Slowly the reason for his speechlessness becomes clear. Together with the nurse's girlfriend and a female friend of the silent stranger, their history is explained.
